You shop local and buy local – but do you invest local?
Put your money to work where you live, by making an investment in Mountain BizWorks. We rely on investments from individuals and institutions to make loans to local small businesses that create jobs and help grow our local economy.
The money that people and institutions invest in Mountain BizWorks, combined with our own capital, creates the pool of funds from which we lend to help small businesses start, grow and create jobs.
Investors can invest as little as $1,000 and choose terms as short as one year or as long as 7 years. Investors receive a fixed-rate annual simple interest return of up to 3%.
